down. it's ban roller coaster. yesterday schools started all over damascus. and there is a sense of normalcy back in the city. the security measure moved to the schools in the past few weeks to say a strike might be imminent has moved out and there's no civilian life back to the city. >> so, are you relieve? ed are you friends, neighbors relieveed that the united states will not strike, at least not now? >> caller: there is a sense that an idea of a strike may have fizzled out. there relief from that, but frankly, life goes on in syria. unfortunately this means more death and if you live in damascus you are hearing more or the same sonic boom on a daily basis as the war planes bombard the s suburbs where the rebels e like. that's what life here is like.

unfortunately. you say "life goes on as normal" i can't imagine it's normal to the we understand. for you and your neighbors, how close has the violence got your neighborhood. how you go out? you worry about your safety when you do leave your home? > kr*eult's been two and a half years now. damascus maybe one and half years since the asrao*eu lens arrived to the city. every single neighborhood in the damascus -- i'm talkinging about security which is strictly under government control but every single neighborhood has had a brush with a car bomb, a mortyr shell that was targeted or the rebels or government troops or who knows. there's a lot of sort of random ebs explosions here and there. there is no rational sense of safety but, of course, as human nature goes, people just try to

make due with what they have. they continue to try to live their normal life. they do go out. they go out and in the evening sometimes people surprised to see that. they go in to the thraeu the laf the evening. people do their best. >> i'm surpriseed that outdoor cafes are full. these surprising. and also schools are returning struck you as well. is it like that across much of the damascus or is that just in that area were mentioning that is consider a safe-zone? >> caller: yeah, it's like they cross the state. once you go out to the outskirts or some of the districts that are a little bit farther away from the center. there's ongoinging classes and there are hardly any families left there. it's just the armed rebels. sometimes they're the local men that picked up arms.

sometimes they come from other provinces to help out. there's no normal life whatsoever. maybe a 15 minute drive from the center of the damascus. >> earlier, i think you mentioned, when there was talk that the united states might strike syria that people were stocking up on supplies and water and food. no more people are doing that -- or not stocking up like they were before? >> caller: i think people here have a short memory these days. so, no, there is no sense of having to stock up on water and food. people are no longer preparing their basements thinking there's going to be a u.s. war planes in the sky. i think the idea of a u.s.-led strike has pretty much fizzled out from people's lives for now. >> are you finding a lot of support for your neighbors for president assad? >> caller: no. this is one about

government-controlled areas. is that everyone in a area is for regime. that's not the case at all. there's a lot of quiet within a government-controlled area. but because there's so tightly controlled under the government, there's very little people can do. people can't go out to the street and protest. they are shot at right away. there's no place to hide and in the small urban environment. they are from the authorities and so, so, no, people have very mixed feelings. some people are progovernment. some ar are pro-rebels. >> this is a part of syria we don't get to see very often so, ra sh* a, i appreciate your insight. i kwhroeup stay the safe there. >> caller: thank you. out of th of the running foe
